BLC Mem Helen Brown 'Ta-Hsin'
I can't take credit for all the blooms on this 'Mama'! Only that a friend gave it to me in April in sheath. It must like my house  It still has 3 spikes unbloomed. I can't wait to see it completely bloomed. I counted 26 buds (lost 1).

I just love the contrast with the green and fushia? and it's frilly lip. Let us take another peak when they are all in bloom. Look like it might be a little over potted.

FUNny!!!!  Can you imagine what I'll go through when its done blooming and I HAVE to repot this MAMA????  There will probably be a line out front of my house  1 friend is already waiting and has NOT even seen the flowers yet only the buds.

On a serious note, just thinking of a friend of mine who has some cats that were growing over the edge and the new growth was growing downward. Wanted to re-pot but how to re-port when new growth was growing down and other pseudos going up. Did you do anything to make they grow up even tho over edge?? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have no idea how my friend got everybody to grow up  I'll see her on Friday and ask what her secret is. She does use the ?plant rings? attached to the pot to keep these guys growing up but I don't know how it works for those growing outwards. If there is a secret I'll find out and post it. Meanwhile I'm waiting for the rest to bloom
